Thanks Bob,
You solution helps, but now I am unable now to use BarLabels !
I can't use FrameTicks in place of BarLabels, since FrameTicks do not get
positioned at the same locations as BarLabels. Using Frame seems to prevent
BarLabels from showing up:
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, Frame -> True, BarLabels -> {0, 1, 2},
FrameTicks -> {None, Range[0, 3], None, None},
FrameLabel -> (Style[#1, FontSize -> 14] & ) /@ {"x-axis label", "y-axis
label"}]
For example, If I replace frameTicks for the x-axis with what I wanted to be
the BarLabels, I get this
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, Frame -> True, FrameTicks -> {{0, 1, 2}, Range[0, 3],
None, None},
FrameLabel -> (Style[#1, FontSize -> 14] & ) /@ {"x-axis label", "y-axis
label"}]
and nothing I did would make FrameTicks {0,1,2} to be placed right where the
earlier frameTicks {1,2,3} were.
ofcourse I can use BarLabels without the FrameTicks, but then we are back to
square one, the BarLabels would now show in the top and bottom:
BarChart[{1, 2, 3}, Frame -> True, BarLabels -> {0, 1, 2},
FrameLabel -> (Style[#1, FontSize -> 14] & ) /@ {"x-axis label", "y-axis
label"}]
